you can save 25% off your pre-order of TAZGN7 at Barnes and Noble from 12/30 until 1/1 using code PREORDER25 if you're a Rewards member (it's free to sign up)! Premium members get an extra 10% off. <7 months left...!

(someone has drastically altered what taako is saying in this tiny peek at a TAZGN7 panel so that he seems to be talking up barnes & noble preorders for the book itself. but it's a pretty great deal...!)

If you didn’t read this in the heavy British accent of your typical National Geographic Channel narrator, then the comic didn’t work - read again!

I'm SO excited to finally get to show you the cover for The Adventure Zone: Story and Song graphic novel! The book will be out on July 14, 2026, and It's available for preorder now!

Because it's a double-length book that combines the last two arcs, we got to do a back cover to make it a full wraparound, too:

I was so excited to come up with a back cover that featured the Stolen Century crew! And here's the full wraparound all together, which was SO much fun to design:

The actual spine is substantially thicker than this, lol.

I'm so, so proud of what we all made! I can't believe the last book in the series will be out in just 8 months! I'm really excited to get to talk about it more soon.

If you're able to preorder the book or request it at your local library (!!), it's a big help to all of our future careers. Thank you for reading TAZGN, it means a lot to all of us!

When you thought it would be easy peasy lemon squeezy but it turns out to be difficult difficult lemon difficult.

[ID: the final three images are yellow-to-green gradients with “Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy” on the left and “Hard Lime Difficult Time” on the right. The second to last image adds “Citrust the process” to the center. The last image adds beneath that, highlighted in orange, “Orange you glad it’s not worse.” End ID.]

Okay, this made me pause and literally write out every letter that 'fell' in order (‘oomngouuhhrsrtutpntnue’), then make sure they were all contained in 'turntomushuponthergroun'.

They are, and it's very satisfying.

Oh this is going into my classroom ❤️

[dalniente]

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Edit: People, I’m an English and creative writing double major in college; I understand that there’s nothing wrong with simply using “said.” This was just for fun, and it comes in handy when I need to add pizzazz. 

[fuckyeahcharacterdevelopment]

In addition to a little pizzazz in the dialogue tags, these are also super useful as part of the narration, or summing up/paraphrasing something that has been said, or even in a character’s dialogue as they describe how someone was talking!

Awkward when overused, but fabulous when used just right. Love the categories 😆

[molabuddy]

the insane experience of missing a fictional character . like you can always go back and reread the book , replay the game , rewatch the show or movie , you can always go back & see them , but you can never experience them & their story for the first time again . its absurd to miss them because they'll always be there , but you'll miss when there were still new things for them to say .

for a small time they were real & growing and changing and you hung onto every new word, but now all they can do is repeat the same story forever&ever & they're not real anymore because you know everything they're going to do. & you miss them. its fucked man...

[kdndigital]

And this is why I would latch onto series like the Star Wars Expanded Universe (esp Timothy Zahn's series) and RA Salvatore's Dark Elf series. I never wanted to let go of my beloved characters.

I haven't been into a long book series in a long time (though I'm sure it would just take one little spark to set my flame again).

But I have fallen in love with characters from books, shows and anime. And I know that feeling of loss when I finished that media.

And that's when AO3 resurrects my beloveds and gives me new stories to fall in love with my beloveds again. They may not be the original authors, but there are so many phenomenal writers who also love those characters so much it shows with every crafted mannerism and tone.

Fanfic writers and AO3, you do a service that brings so much joy. Thank you 🥰

I drew a bunch of silly stuff with my werewolf woman and decided to gather it one post. Sometimes you just have to decompress through being goofy

You can read about her here.

These comics are just some silliness I drew for fun. It's not really canon, she lives in a separate setting (not our world) and isn't able to talk as a werewolf. Her original story is also pretty rough and tragic.

🤗 i dont like this emoji. this is not a hug to me. this is someone doing condescending jazz hands in my general direction when i am in need of affection. not comforting.

🫂 i love this emoji. this is a hug. we are hugging and its nice. and as a special bonus they appear to be my old friends from the msn messenger logo? very comforting.
